Reviews for Acacia Ridge Motor Inn

Review 1:Not all that bad, but was a little perturbed to find the swimming pool out of action due to retiling of the surrounds. We arrived in 46C heat, which led me to think, could this not have been done in the cooler months?

Review 2:Friendly, co-operative staff, comfortable and clean facilities, (rather dated but certainly adequate), location only a short distance from the venue we were attending.

Review 3:Would have liked bedside table/cabinet but no big deal for one night stay.

Review 4:Everything was clean and tidy in Room 21 and we had a great undisturbed nights sleep. Maria was very welcoming and friendly and we enjoyed a lovely buffet breakfast.

Review 5:Females in the party said the pillows were too hard. They went out and purchased a packet of cheap soft ones at KMart in order to sleep.

Review 6:Quiet place to retreat to after a busy day. Room was nice and clean and promptly serviced.

Review 7:The walls were quite thin so the people in the next room impacted in our stay.

Review 8:The motel was off the highway so it was quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Review 9:Nothing flash but we had a great night's sleep and a lovely stay none the less. Perfect for our needs. Room was very clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable and the shower was nice and hot. Couldn't ask for more really! :)

Review 10:Old motel, we had a so called 2 bedroom unit which was really a studio double plus a connecting family room. Only one bathroom, no kitchenette & the air con was faulty. Also it was more expensive than 2 other properties we stayed at in the Eyre Peninsular, which did provide dinkum 2 bedroom units with kitchenettes etc.

Review 11:lack of a kitchenette and separate sink to wash up in

Review 12:well designed and good use of space, not cramped fresh milk friendly manager very clean and comfortable

Review 13:Convenient to facilities, easy to access, and close to the wonderful Arid Gardens. Have stayed here on 3 occasions and have always found the Acacia to be clean, quiet and well priced. Staff are always helpful and room is comfortable.

Review 14:Very low water pressure in shower. No free packets of biscuits (my wife made me put this in - only one of 12 places in 4 states with no bikkies).

Review 15:Location excellent, convenient. Large room, quiet.

Review 16:Nothing

Review 17:Just back of the highway so no traffic noise, clean and although we didn't have breakfast the smell coming from the kitchen when packing was yum. Good parking, would be happy to stay again.

Review 18:The staff were friendly and helpful with lots of ideas for visiting local tourist attractions. Comfortable bed, retro-style en suite, manager took the trouble of putting the a/c on to warm the room before our arrival. Great buffet breakfast.

Review 19:Obviously doing up the rooms over time but could start replacing the older style conditioners with modern quiet ones but a very small issue which I'm sure will be done over time

Review 20:Bed comfortable, great breakfast option, security parking, great staff very friendly quiet of the main highway
